Setup

1.Connect the Hose and Gun

a.Remove the plastic cap plug from the outlet tee and screw an accessory, conductive or grounded spray hose onto the 1/4 npsm(f) out- let nipple. See Fig 1.

b.Connect a small diameter, 3 ft (0.9 m) whip hose between the main hose and a spray gun, if desired, for more flexible gun movement. See Fig 1.

c.Don't use thread sealant on the swiveling nut of the hose couplings, and don't install the spray tip yet.

NOTE: Use thread sealant on all male threads except at swivel unions. Swivel unions are made to self± seal, and using thread sealant prevents the swivel from turning freely.

2.Fill the Packing Nut/Wet Cup 1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied. See Fig. 2.
